'Pure experience' is the name I gave to the immediate flux of life which furnishes the material to our later reflection with its conceptual categories.
William James
If merely 'feeling good' could decide, drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience.
William James
There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.
Ansel Adams
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams
Studies perfect nature and are perfected still by experience.
Francis Bacon
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
Natural abilities are like natural plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience.
Francis Bacon
I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a "learning experience." Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a "learning experience." It makes me feel less stupid.
P. J. O'Rourke
Our wisdom comes from our experience, and our experience comes from our foolishness.
Sacha Guitry
Taste every fruit of every tree in the garden at least once. It is an insult to creation not to experience it fully. Temperance is wickedness.
Stephen Fry
I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.
Lou Holtz
I'm not a genius. I'm just a tremendous bundle of experience.
R. Buckminster Fuller
We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.
Jonathan Swift
All experience is an arch wherethrough gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Prudence is but experience, which equal time, equally bestows on all men, in those things they equally apply themselves unto.
Thomas Hobbes
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.
John Frusciante
Conviction without experience makes for harshness.
Flannery O'Connor
